They won their last 7 games prior to the NCAA tournament, but 2 wins over a Kolek-less Marquette team were their only wins over tournament teams. And they’ve gotten a cake path to the Elite 8 so far. The counter of course is that we hadn’t beaten anyone worth a damn the entire season until last night, so it’s not like we can talk much on this point either. But the hope is that we’ll be a pretty big step up from anything they’ve seen offensively in a long time, and ultimately we just need them to have an off shooting night and if they do we certainly have a chance.

A little more than 14 hours until tip time. Let’s get this one. This team is too fun to stop watching.
